Marriage & Family Therapist

Marriage & Family Therapist
Hi, I’m Lori Bauer, I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist with a lifelong passion for psychology that began in high school and eventually led me to earn a master’s degree in clinical psychology from Pepperdine University.
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families from diverse cultural backgrounds in a variety of settings. I’ve worked in school-based programs, a psychiatric hospital, nursing homes, and community mental health centers.
I recently received a certification in Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation from Georgetown University, which has deepened my dedication to supporting young children and their caregivers. I now use that knowledge to supervise and mentor therapists who share my passion for working with the zero-to-five population.
One of the most fulfilling parts of my work is supervising emerging therapists. I truly enjoy creating a supportive, collaborative environment where therapists feel safe to grow, reflect, and develop their clinical voice. Helping others build confidence and thrive in their careers is something I find very meaningful.
When I’m not working, I love spending time in nature, connecting with animals, and being with family and friends. These personal connections and peaceful moments outdoors help keep me grounded and bring balance to my life.
